Outcomes of the California Cancer Registry for patients undergoing resection for Stage I NSCLC were evaluated according to Commission on Cancer (CoC) accreditation status and lung resection procedure volume. High volume hospitals (>50 annually) had better survival compared to medium (20-50 annually; HR 1.23) and low volume (<20 annually; 1.77) hospitals. Survival was not associated with CoC status.
